I learned about overcoming obstacles in the book, The Circuit. Torito was the baby of the family and he got really sick. Torito started bleeding and throwing up. The family took him to the hospital and they could not afford the hospital bills. The doctor told them that he had a rare disease. The family started praying in order to heal Torito and it worked. Another obstacle they overcame was in the the second book, Breaking through, the family’s house was burning. Francisco and Roberto had accidentally burned the house down because their dad bought cheap gasoline that spread when it was poured. The fire got out of control and burned their house down. These are some of the obstacles that Francisco and his family encountered.

Comment: In the book, The Circuit the characters overcome obstacles. Francisco and his family had to cross the border illegally. They were immigrants with no money and had to live in a camp with other immigrants. The camp was called Tent City. It was a challenge to be in a new place with no privacy.
In the second book, Breaking Through La Migra (immigration police) caught Francisco and his family. They were sent back to Mexico.When they got to Mexico, the family fixed their paperwork to return to the United States with permission. Francisco was now able to go to school. He learned how to speak English and years later got a scholarship to go to college. Nothing stopped Francisco and he was able to accomplish his goal of going to college.

Comment:
In the Circuit, Francisco and is family were immigrants. They crossed the border illegally from Mexico to California. Francisco went to school, but he faced a big problem because he did not speak English. He also had to miss school because he needed to help his father pick cotton. His mom had a baby named “Torito” and got very sick. The family took Torito to the hospital. Luckily, Torito was saved but the family needed to work harder to get money to pay the medical bills. Francisco went through many obstacles as an immigrant but he managed to graduate high school and receive a scholarship. Francisco loved his family, together they overcame their struggles and promised never to leave them. He visited them every Saturday.

TOday I am talking to you about immigration. The reason why this is such a big problem is this not the land of the free or of opportunity if people from other countries can be banned from coming here if in the past they had stayed longer than three months. I need you to stop thinking that the people who came to the United States hundrends of years ago are the best. Everyone in the United States was an immigrant family at one time. This important to all of us because the ideas that made the United States are worthless if they are not followed.

2.My Thoughts are that the book is talking about Immagration so My dad was in Magration 2 years ago.
3.Immigration is a police that arrest you if you don't have papers
4.when the books talks about the food it shows how My dad didn't like the food in Immigration there should be better food

Comment: I read the Immigration issue of the kids discover, Immigration is a global problem. Kid’s lose their parents because their deported, parents lose their families because they don’t have papers. In reality we’re all immigrants because our ancestors aren’t from here unless your ancestors are native americans, then you are indigenous to this land. People get deported because their not from here, but neither are we. You can be born in america but your ancestors aren’t from here. so in reality none of us belong here.

About 20% of these immigrated people are refugees who have been forced to leave their homes by war or natural disasters. In 1986, Pakistan had more refugees than any other nation on Earth. Canada, Australia, and Israel are largely populated by immigrants.

There are many illegal immigrants in our country that get treated like aliens, many that are deported each day. Some are even educated in America and can't get a job. Some people cross border like from mexico to america to see their families. Some countries don't even care, like Spain but America and the UK do. On the border many holes are dug and other attempts to ge over. Many people are desperate to get a citizenship.

Comment: There are a lot of immigration problems in the US.
Many illegal immigrants cross the border unnoticed, I think that should be fixed.
I also think it’s not the immigrant’s fault, they need a better life, people say, “Oh if you want a better life, get a legal Visa.” They can’t they don’t have the money to, that’s why they go to America.

Comment: I learned that people who were from different countries were treated differently because of their race, color, and gender. I learned this from that human rights were being violated. Men and women had to use the bathroom out in the open and they weren’t paid enough on the job.He went on a hunger strike for three weeks because they wouldn't listen to what he was saying about raising their pay. Cesar Chavez wouldn't quit what they started because it was important to them. Five years later they won the strike and got fair pay for their hard work.

Comment:I think that Emily's paragraph is good because it talks about how Fransisco goes to school and he misses school for five years. I also liked that she talks about Fransisco crossing the border illegally and was caught by the immigration officers (La Migra). It seems like a scary experience.

Comment:
There are many illegal immigrants in our country that get treated like aliens, many that are deported each day. Some are even educated in America and can't get a job. Some people cross border like from mexico to america to see their families. Some countries don't even care, like Spain but America and the UK do. On the border many holes are dug and other attempts to ge over. Many people are desperate to get a citizenship.

Comment: I think immigration has to stop. There are too many people coming from places to for example the US. Now there are too many people in one country and it is hard to live with all these people living here.

Comment::i agree with osbaldo l from lara because immigration is when people want to leave their old country to get a better life but not only your life but your own children. they can get more money and more things to support your children and your wife. and you get better things than the old country

Comment:i think they should let people immigrate so they could have a better life, food and live freely like they wanted. They can find better health care, work, and the stuff their families will need.

Comment:Cesar chavez helped farmworkers to get raises for picking grapes. He convinced the farm owners to do it. He went on a hunger strike for 35 days. The farm owners agreed to pay them. Cesar died in his sleep one day in April. He was a great man.

Comment:Immigration is very hard while your immigrating you can get sick and more.
